I’m so sorry about your mother. My grandfather went through the same thing, and it was so hard. My grandmother was there for him the whole time though. They were together for about 55 years when he died. They were such an example of pure love, of what marriage should be. My grandmother is alone now, physically, but sustained by her faith. The church and her married life went hand in hand.
She doesn’t know that I, her only religious grandchild, is gay. Maybe one day she will. I would like to think she would look at her wonderful marriage and realise that everyone, everyone, deserves a shot at that. But I don’t know. Just thought I’d share.
God bless you.
